Taiwan Unveils T-Dome Air Defense System

  • During his National Day address on October 10 in Taipei, President Lai Ching-te announced the initiation of the T-Dome project, a comprehensive, multi-layered air defense system designed to enhance Taiwan’s national security.
  • Increasing pressure and threats from China, which asserts sovereignty over Taiwan, led to this major announcement aimed at strengthening the island’s defense capabilities.
  • The T-Dome integrates domestic and foreign equipment, employs smart technology, and addresses diverse threats including drones, rockets, missiles, and aircraft.
  • Lai pledged increased defense spending, with the government set to propose a special budget and raise spending above 3% of GDP next year.
  • China responded on October 9 by stating it would 'firmly defend national sovereignty', signaling continuing tensions and ongoing vigilance between both sides.
